Less competition = more market share.

50 Billion once the acquisition is done will be nothing to them. Well, its nothing to them now. But just like Spectacle sad, Less competition = more market share.

Never mind all the shit yahoo is into like dating service, music, news, etc.

[Notladstyle]

yahoo has a massive share if webmail users - the revenue from advertising in that alone will recoup 50b in a year.

Soooo true. I love it. Google > Yahoo in every way conceivable. MSFT buying Yahoo can only make it worse. This purchase makes perfect sense to me, and I will continue to use better products tailored as tools instead of information gathering sales engines.
